Includes bibliographical references (pages 257-272) and index.Pasteur's proposal -- Scan. Prime movers ; The master's zone ; Mental hyperlinks ; The brain's big bang -- Sift. Perceptual sets ; Reading between the minds ; The Tao of data mining ; Psycho-entanglement -- Solve. Risk and incentive ; Snaps on demand.Sudden flashes of inspiration have triggered many discoveries and inventions throughout history. Are such Aha! moments merely random or is there a way to train the brain to harness these seemingly unpredictable creative insights? In this overview of the latest neuroscience findings on spontaneous thought processes or "snaps," Dr. Katherine Ramsland describes how everyone can learn to improve the likelihood of their own Eureka moments by adopting certain attitudes and habits. Much more than new ideas, snaps are insights plus momentum. They often occur after ordinary problem solving hits an impasse. We may feel stuck, but the brain is rebooting, and the solution pops into our heads. Written in an accessible, jargon-free narrative, weaving together the latest research with illuminating stories of innovative people, Snap teaches us how to cultivate our own inner epiphanies to gain an edge in business, career paths, and even our personal lives.--From publisher description.

Creative acts for curious people : how to think, create, and lead in unconventional ways / by Greenberg, Sarah Stein,author.(CARDINAL)854173; Hirshon, Michael,illustrator.(CARDINAL)677859; Kelley, David,1951-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)404407;
"In an era of ambiguous, messy problems--as well as extraordinary opportunities for positive change--it's vital to have both an inquisitive mind and the ability to act with intention. Creative Acts for Curious People is filled with ways to build those skills with resilience, care, and confidence. At Stanford University's world-renowned Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, aka "the d.school," students and faculty, experts and seekers bring together diverse perspectives to tackle ambitious projects; this book contains the experiences designed to help them do it. A provocative and highly visual companion, it's a definitive resource for people who aim to draw on their curiosity and creativity in the face of uncertainty. Teeming with ideas about discovery, learning, and leading the way through unknown creative territory, Creative Acts for Curious People includes memorable stories and more than eighty innovative exercises. Curated by executive director Sarah Stein Greenberg, after being honed in the classrooms of the d.school, these exercises originated in some of the world's most inventive and unconventional minds, including those of d.school and IDEO founder David M. Kelley, ReadyMade magazine founder Grace Hawthorne, innovative choreographer Aleta Hayes, Google chief innovation evangelist Frederik G. Pferdt, and many more. To bring fresh approaches to any challenge-world changing or close to home-you can draw on exercises such as Expert Eyes to hone observation skills, How to Talk to Strangers to foster understanding, and Designing Tools for Teams to build creative leadership. The activities are at once lighthearted, surprising, tough, and impactful-and reveal how the hidden dynamics of design can drive more vibrant ways of making, feeling, exploring, experimenting, and collaborating at work and in life. This book will help you develop the behaviors and deepen the mindsets that can turn your curiosity into ideas, and your ideas into action." --Amazon.com.
